NeoFace Control Face Recognition System for Access Control

A Hong Kong team here uses its very significant hardware and software engineering capabilities together with a face recognition algorithm developed and owned by NEC Corporation to create a new access control system for physical premises.

Once authorized users have been pre-registered into the system, they can gain access by simply standing in front of a very small integrated device containing a camera, which is installed at the various access points. This device automatically captures the facial image of the user. Where a match with a pre-registered stored facial template is found according to the face recognition algorithm, the electronic door lock will open automatically. Access will otherwise be denied.

The single token authentication and verification process takes only one second, and the system additionally features seamless integration with back end systems such as payroll, human resources and accounting applications.
